How Does Your Billing For Psychiatry Work?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm wondering - for those who see a psychiatrist - if your psychiatrist happens to charge you every single time you contact him/her?

I've been go through a rough time with trying to get antidepressants to work, so I'll send the psychiatrist a question about taking me off the antidepressant and possibly starting up a new one. Then I find out that I got billed for two emails I sent to the doctor.

I think that's messed up, and I'm thinking of finding a new psychiatrist, but I'm not sure if this is common practice amongst psychiatrists or not. Thoughts?
